Malcolm.

This is your answer, TELONICS TYPE 84, and take a couple of hours setting it up, hour on the first day, then tweak on another day, then one more 1/2 hour tweak on the third day... They are just made for each other...
it is really easy to set up using the info supplied on the Telonics website..

I miss my shobud...

Don't think so Dave,way over price limit the guy is willing to pay , come to think of it don't think I would spend that much either.

I use a George L 10-5 (5-sound) pickup in my Emmons push-pull, it took me a long time and many different pickups until I finally found one that I was reasonably happy with.

I found a 6th way to wire it so that I can get a single-coil sound without the hum, albeit with a reduced output.
